Hello Pasi, Thanks for the reply. I have updated XEN to version 4.0 with LInux kernel 2.6.31.8. (I also tried xen-3.4.2) Luckily it can boot and bnx2 NIC works.
<http://www.gitco.de/repo/>But another problem happens: guest domain can not boot correctly, shows "Device 0 (vif) could not be connected." I have almost searched the whole internet to find the solution but none worked. Some people suggest "/sbin/start_udev", but it does not work for my machine. Any idea ?? Thanks in advance.
